DEVOTIONAL
Building People Up - Part 2
Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. Romans 15:2
The words we use are powerful. They can be the best encouragement or the strongest weapon. Ephesians 4:29 reminds us: ‘Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen’. So, we need to be careful with our own words. And the first step to doing that is to make sure our hearts are completely aligned with God. In Matthew 12:34, Jesus said ‘the mouth speaks what the heart is full of’. If we’re speaking with hearts full of resentment or bitterness, our words will reflect this. But if our words come from a heart that’s filled with love, they’ll have the power to encourage and inspire people for good. Paul said ‘Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up’ (Romans 15:2). Even if our own situation isn’t perfect, it doesn’t stop us from encouraging others, and in that process, it can be a real encouragement to ourselves as well, to see how our words can make a difference to someone else. Maybe we have to speak a word of correction to someone. We can still do that from a place of love, and in a way, that doesn’t condemn and discourage the person. The Bible reminds us that ‘if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently’ (Galatians 6:1). Although we may need to remind the person of where they’re going wrong and turning away from God’s will, we should aim to do it from a place of encouragement and support, inspiring them to be the best they can be, with God’s help.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me be a person that looks for and builds up the best in others and helps them grow in their relationship with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
